Prior to the first initial start-up orbefore you start working, a chargedFuB 05 AA battery must be insertedinto the battery compartment (item.À). The battery supplies the voltagerequired for the operation of thetransmitter (6 V DC).Note :After inserting the battery, thenameplate must be visible.Operation of the transmitter willnot be possible otherwise !2. Unlock the EMERGENCY-STOPpushbutton (item Á) by turning it.3. Switch ON the radio transmitter viathe key switch (item Â).The dual color LED flashes green, i.e.the transmitter is operational.A radio connection to the receiver is established when the red LED "HF/RF/H.F./HF" onthe receiver will be extinguished and the green LED "Si1" is illuminated (see radio statuspanel of the receiver), i.e. the radio system is ready to operate and the controlcommands may be input via the transmitter.If the dual color LED on the transmitter flashes red and / or an acoustic signal comes,this indicates that the battery is almost fully discharged. Now, you must replace thedischarged battery by a charged one and recharge the discharged battery (cf. "BatteryCharger", section 4.1).Note :If the discharged battery is not replaced by a charged one, the transmitter willautomatically be switched OFF after a few minutes.If the transmitter was deactivated – unintentionally or intentionally – via theEMERGENCY-STOP pushbutton following steps have to be carried out for further radiotransmission :1. Switch OFF the transmitter via the key switch.2. Unlock the EMERGENCY-STOP pushbutton.3. Switch the transmitter ON again via the key switch.Note :The transmitter must always be switched ON via the key switch and not via theEMERGENCY-STOP pushbutton.Since switching OFF the transmitter when it is not used is quite often forgotten, it isequipped with an automatic deactivation (auto OFF function). The transmitter will thus beswitched OFF automatically about 15 minutes after the last control command has beeninput.The automatic transmitter deactivation also helps to save the energy of the rechargeablebatteries.ÁÂNameplate of batteryÀ

Depress the programming keys "+" and "–" simultaneously and then switch ON thetransmitter. Keep the programming keys depressed until the green service LED ofthe transmitter starts flashing quickly. Now, the control is in the tele-teach-in mode.4. Setting the minimum speed (fig. 2)Push the linear lever toward the desired function.Note :Do not move the linear lever beyond 50 % of the maximumlever travel.Then adjust the minimum speed by means of the "+" and "–" keys, i.e. by looking forthe minimum point when the hydraulic valve begins to react. It will be helpful toobserve the way the function is carried out as well as the movement of the lever ofthe hydraulic valve (fig. 2).5. Setting the maximum speed (fig. 3)Push the linear lever toward the desired function by moving it toits end position. Then adjust the maximum speed by means of the"+" and "–" keys, i.e. by looking for the maximum point when thehydraulic valve begins to react. In order to make use of the fulllever travel of the linear lever, do not actuate the "+" key anylonger after the hydraulic valve has reached its maximum travel(fig. 3).Note :In the tele-teach-in mode, only execute one single function at the time, not alllinear levers in a diagonal way, as it is only possible to program one singlefunction at the time.For all further linear lever functions, please repeat the steps beginning with item 3.In order to verify the programmed settings, switch OFF the transmitter and then switch itON afterwards. Now, the transmitter is again in the normal operating mode.In case of systems that offer creeping function, all the functions will have to beprogrammed again in the creeping mode (switch set to the snail symbol).
